I would say you are right, because all the playable legends are able to be bought with the free currency you can get by just playing the game.
I guess some people could make the argument that paying players have faster access to new legends and legendary finishers, etc. I would say this is more like "pay to skip some grinding" than "pay to win".
Yeah, if it's unlockable in a reasonable amount of time (say, 5-10 hours per hero), then it's basically the same as those stupid F2P mobile games where you can pay to "speed up time" or whatever. Or if there's a rapid churn where you lose access to heroes after some amount of time (i.e. even if you pay, they'd disappear).
But if you can grind for a few hours to get the hero you want, then yeah, not P2W.
